Good Friday



Today Bryce and I made our pie pan tomb. I suppose some people might see it as sacrilegious to wrap Jesus in a piece of toilet paper and put him in a pie pan filled with dirt, but this is one of the things I remember very clearly doing with my mom when I was little. I hope that Bryce remembers it too, and that he knows Jesus in an intimate way from the very beginning, and comes to understand his sacrifice for us. 

Surely our griefs He Himself bore,
And our sorrows He carried;
Yet we ourselves esteemed Him stricken,
Smitten of God, and afflicted.
But He was pierced through for our transgressions,
He was crushed for our iniquities;
The chastening for our well-being fell upon Him,
And by His scourging we are healed.
All of us like sheep have gone astray,
Each of us has turned to his own way;
But the Lord has caused the iniquity of us all
To fall on Him.

Isaiah 53:4-6
